If paradise was able to be captured on camera, we did our best. But EVERYONE needs to go here at one point in their life. It is so unbelievably beautiful.

La Dolce Vita

I think we have literally died and gone to heaven. We spent three great days in Sevilla. It is known to get pretty hot there and it didn't get bad until the last day we were there and it reached 100 degrees. We did a pretty good job of staying inside though.

On Sunday, we hopped on a flight to Rome. Super hot Italian flight attendant, thank you Ryan Air. We got to our hotel around 11 pm and found a nice little restaurant next door to have dinner.

Monday morning, our bus was leaving Rome at 7 am, so we got a cab from the hotel. We didn't arrive in Amalfi until around 2:30 but it was all worth it. When we walked into the hotel, we walked down a few steps into a wall of windows over looking the water, the view was absolutely amazing. W got a little choked up.

Since that point, its been view after view and we spend any spare time next to the water. We were lucky enough to have our windows open and fall asleep to the moon and the sound of the waves crashing.

We spent time in Positano today. Very cute town. We took a small boat to a cove where a restaurant was and had a great lunch. On our ride back, it started to rain a bit and getting rained on has never been so fun.

We are relaxing a bit before heading into town tonight. It is so beautiful, I hate the thought of leaving. Its just a matter of time until I come back.


Cant put pictures on from my iPad but they will be coming as soon as I am home.

Hola from Espana

Just finished Day 5 in Spain, and although I say this every day, this may be the best day yet. Everything is so amazing. The food is great, people are friendly, the history is fascinating and the scenery is gorgeous.

I definitely won't be able to blog as much as I thought possible but here are a few of my favorite pictures so far. Detailed posts will come when I am back in the US with nothing better to do then feel sad about myself and remember the awesome time I had on vacay.
